The composer

My name is Harry Koning. For me composing provides a way of expressing my feelings. I see my music as a way of creating a platform where people can express themselves, reveal themselves, and develop their creativity.

Free? What about the rights?

That is very simple. As the composer/arranger (and therefore the owner of the rights) I give you permission to download and use this sheet music for your choir without paying anything to me.

As a token of appreciation, I ask you kindly to make a donation to a charity of your own choice. The amount of the donation is up to you. Of course local copyright regulations followed up by local performing right societies are to be met by the choirs when using my choir music.
